Cruise was awesome fun.

Everyone leaving the first point got a bit silly. One thing to take off ahrd but the guys doing the "wankers yank" to make the car wheelspin because they dont have enough power is retarded. Wont be showing that in the DVD.

I filmed the drive up with Dom ( blue Autostyle GTR) Jerry ( Mines GTR) and Ferds ( BBM T88 GTR) and i must say it will make for some awesome footage.

The feature on the cruise will be in Motive DVD issue 003 which comes out in Sep. Motive 003 is going to be a GTR special too.

A huge "Well Done" to Terry and the other organisers. Great day.

Was good to meet some new people and catch up with others.

Big Thanks to Scott from Insight Motorsports who opened up on Sunday for me to get my car out. I was late, but I got there in the end.

wasn't that when you were referring to it as "Captain Hook"

:(

You Serious,

i think i saw atleast 30 cars punching it here and there , whoever it was he wasnt the only person .

+1 For launching , everybody was jeed up

Terry it was a good cruise good stuff champ .....

like i said we were late so we missed the main group, and the 2nd group and the launching.. im all for the launching from the first meet point as it was there was noone around... i didnt see the main group... but there was a group that came through the round about heading towards the first meet point, chucked a u turn down the road and all took off again.. was about 6 or 7 gtrs and there were loads of people at that roundabout.. i just wasnt very impressed as there was no need for that particular car to do what they did at that point.. they did a bit more than tromp it.

Hey champ if was anything is was your mates initating what u called the "wankers yank" the 1st couple of cars took off hard then the rest were LAUNCHING their vechiles.......

So i guess the rest of the group just followed

"Awesome footage " meaning driving very hard is that what u mean????

If u say that then its no different the ur "wankers yank"

I dont appreciate when u pick and choose what it acceptable driving and what is not!!!

I personally think its alot easier to lose control of a vechile at HIGH speed on road they aint familiar with then lauching a car champ!

Maybe you should have told how u feel at the time cause there were ALOT of cars launching their cars with ur mates Dom and all them initating it!!

Thanks for ur imput Andrew!!! :(

I'm looking forward to some good pics of

CARS + Yuka-san

CARS + NISSAN Sign (2X up already thanx)

CARS + Kyoshi Hans & Sensei Dave swords drawn over Bakes' Award-winning car on The Avenue in filtered sunlight, under autumn leaves :(

GTR32X nevermind mate.

We are thankful to Andrew that he was there to capture the event on film. If he decides to exclude footage that may seem to tarnish the event's overall success and purpose, then I'd think many, if not most, will agree to that.

+1. That should look brilliant!

+1,

There is no doubt it is absolutely awesome to see (and hear) the R34 GT-Rs launching hard... But there's a time and place to do it; the Regatta centre was a bit iffy for us organisers as, the way I see it, they were respectful enough to let us park there (in a restricted parking area) without causing us grief, so we should respect the area in return (even if it was a quiet street). On public roads in amongst other cars (i.e. roundabout with other cars) is pretty stupid.

Let's try not to feed the Today Tonight stereotype, they have enough bad material already.

Kudos to everyone who behaved themselves and drove carefully around the Avenue at Mt Wilson. It was a bit more cramped than we had hoped but I think the cars looked fantastic under those trees. :( Hope everyone had a good time.

Aha one of my DR30...cheers! The old girl is 25 this year...makes the R34's mere babies! ;-)

Thanks guys for a great day, thoroughly enjoyable both on the cruise and at the show!

Fantastic day, thanks to everyone for coming along, and to those who made the extra effort to vote.

Here are a few pics that I took (I've taken quite a few that are similar to the great ones above (but not as good) so here are some others...

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
